False-positive exercise testing in patients with an accessory pathway has b
een described only in patients with manifest preexcitation during exercise.
We describe a patient in whom marked ST-segment changes were seen during a
n exercise test in the absence of any preexcitation of the QRS complexes. T
he role of the accessory pathway in producing the ST changes was reaffirmed
by absence of this abnormality following catheter ablation of the accessor
y pathway.
